The statement that is true about historical fiction is:

Light in the Darkness is historical fiction. That means it imagines what life was like for people from history. Often, the characters in the story are made up. But some events really happened. The story takes place before the U.S. Civil War (1861–1865). At the time, Black people in some states had few freedoms. It was against the law for them to learn to spell, read, or write. Still, many were willing to take the chance. They were like Rosa and her mother. Readers learn about history through these characters.
